Zlatko Gall (born December 1, 1954[1]) is a Croatian journalist, commentator and rock critic.
Gall was born in Split, and he graduated in art history and archeology at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at the University of Zagreb.
[3] Zlatko Gall is known as an advocate for rock music as an expression of urban culture and liberal values.
He sees rock music as the antithesis of turbo folk which was associated with rural culture, conservative values, extreme nationalism and right-wing politics in former Yugoslavia.
For example, in Slobodna Dalmacija he famously wrote an article lambasting the Ivan Zajc theatre in Rijeka for the decision to hire popular musician and advocate of turbo folk Severina Vučković for a production of the popular musical Karolina Riječka in 2003.
